If I can see Judas Priest live, I can die happy. I guess the other bands might be decent too.

*signs up*

Megadeth are usually pretty damn good live

Hate Testament myself..

Not too long more to wait for this, should be a savage gig.

In the meantime however:

Am I the only one who cant wait to hear the Nostradamus tracks live?His vocals blew me away when I first heard this album.I can understand people thinking Priest are a bit of a joke but they deserve credit for being at the forefront of the metal establishment.I only started listening to them recently and personally cannot wait for the O2 show!

I wouldn't put to much hope into hearing too many Nostradamus tracks. I've heard they only play one or two of them because they plan on doing a full Nostradamus tour next year where they'll be playing the whole ablum live.

poundhound · 06-02-2009 2:45pm

Looking forward to that already.

still havent listened to the album, its going onto the ipod tonight. Maiden played all of "a matter of life and death" when they they played in the point in 06, didnt like it at all as you knew what song was coming next, and i found it boring tba (until the last 5 songs

)

I still can't get into it, I've listened to the first disc a few times but haven't listened to the second at all.

I don't mind bands playing full albums from start to finish as long as the album is really good.

poundhound · 07-02-2009 12:23pm

I think its fantastic. As a concept album its up there with "Seventh Son" and "Operation Mindcrime". Rob Halfords vocals on this album deserve a grammy!!!!

FunkZ · 08-02-2009 2:07am

This is simply going to be the best gig of my life. Priest man, fcuking Priest! Mustain, **** yeah. Ah man, oh yeaaa.

'All I do is listen to metal, everyday. All day. It's all I do. Everyday. Sheeeit!'

I really must give it another try if that's the case!

apoch632 · 08-02-2009 7:22am

Anyone know if there's gonna be a pit at this?

OK-Cancel-Apply · 08-02-2009 1:52pm

Jesus I hope not.

Tazz T · 08-02-2009 2:01pm

I seriously believe that Nostradamus is one of the finest things they've ever done. There's not a dodgy track on the album and Halford is amazing with the operatric nuances.

Soundtrack to my summer last year.

OK-Cancel-Apply · 09-02-2009 4:10pm

So where shall we all meet up?

redenemyjoe · 09-02-2009 4:54pm

There

Ronan|Raven · 09-02-2009 4:56pm

Cannot wait for this. To see Testament live has me over the moon. Megadeth im not overly gone on but lookin forward to seeing them and then to top it all off Judas Priest, oh hell yes.

smelltheglove · 09-02-2009 5:28pm

crap didint realize it was starting so early! gonna have to leave here a bit earlier now!

Oral Slang · 09-02-2009 7:51pm

Really looking forward to this - 3 great bands. Have booked a half day tomorrow & a half day am on Wednesday to recover.

Don't think I've ever seen Priest or Testament indoors, so it'll be a change.

Testament have been brilliant every time I've seen them, but Priest have been a bit hit or miss, so I'm hoping an indoor venue, esp. the O2, in which the sound is supposed to be amazing, will suit them better!

Can't wait!

OK-Cancel-Apply · 09-02-2009 9:56pm

Maybe I'll wear a tag saying 'boards.ie'

If you see me, please say hello -
I want to try and get front 'n' centre - who's with me? It's just not the same from anywhere else!

Passenger · 09-02-2009 10:19pm

Priest are on at 9.10??

So it'll be over before 11.00 then I imagine?

Nea · 09-02-2009 11:25pm

Half day booked for me too.
I had heard this wasn't selling well, hope it dont look too empty!

Passenger · 09-02-2009 11:54pm

Aye, still hearing ads on the Radio for it so there's prob plenty tickets still available.

the_syco · 10-02-2009 11:27am

Does anyone know if there's a cloakroom in this now? Also, what's the drinks like? Same Cashel sh|te, and JD, or is there a decent selection. Want Sunni. Otherwise it'll be lots of pre-concert drinkies

No way is it starting at 8pm anyway, both Megadeth & Testament are getting at least an hour and I think the curfew is still the same in the O2 - ie 11pm. I'd imagine those times are accurate, that's what I'm going by anyway.
